yes, thank jebus it wasn't rvp, everyone thank jebus

Yup - The 'Belgium' bit was a dead giveaway...

knew it! im on to you sir paulos

Defoe? On pens?

refresh the page, its 234% now

lol, *note* you twonk

Joke yes 😛

Ah fair enough. Just noticed that Sir Paulos stated their match was against Belgium tonight and thus maybe got his info about VDV wrong. Old 'Arry won't be happy!

I am blessed that she's recently become addicted to FPL too! Wasn't too happy when she went 64pts ahead at the start of the season though! 🙂

That's fair. Grind them out...

nice excuse for a points hit and reshuffle 🙂

There is no strategy.i got him in at the beginning of the season and stupidly took him out after a couple of gwks when it became apparent that rotation was rife. The following weeks saw silva score plenty of points and not get rotated but his price kept rising and i was too stubborn to get him back in cos i had initially had him in at 9.5

😆

those pre-match kebabs are catching upto the fat one

Hmmmm...:?

He's on mine too...and there he'll stay. Hopefully 😉

i have 3 of those aforementioned gods - the point of the question (if there is even a point) is that so many teams in fpl are so reliant on those players that it would cause a serious rethink if they got injured - even if 2 of those players didn't feature (eg. when nani and silva were benched - oh the heartache) it would still cause mass disruption

thats the thing - how many of those 6.0-8.0 midfielders can you really rely on? - think honestly now- theres not many, which probably highlights peoples reliance on said players from my original post and the possible disruption that could be caused if even 1 of those players got injured like tonight, or when nani and silva were rested the other week

nope - we are all far too reliant on the big hitters aren't we

congrats - i take it you don't have the generic midfield 2/3 then?

see reply to Mulllfc – (not trying to be rude but it is identical to what i would say in reply to this)

for who though? - the 6.0-8.0 options are neither here or there, when it comes down to it outside of say, maybe 7-8 midfielders, you're playing russian roulette

would electroshock therapy suffice

Loyal Fanatic alert 😉

Have you un/delinked your team Demi? Could have sworn it was linked b4... I assume you're not concerned about VDV, or did you get him in? 😯

Well I have Brown already this is my team

Vorm/Given

Brown, Woodgate, Assou, R Taylor, Simpson
VdV, Silva, Tiote, Allen, Sinclair,
Aguero, RvP, Hernandez
I have 1.4 in the bank, but no WC

But although it's tight at the top I've worked out that if needed I could take a 12 point hit and still only need to outscore the new leader (I'm currently top) by 10 points to stay there, and hopefully won't have to change my team for a while

The team I was thinking of (prior to tonight) was

Vorm/De Gea

Brown, Vidic, Assou, R Taylor, Simpson

Drenthe, Silva, VdV, Allen, Sinclair

Morrison, RvP, Hernandez

My reason for looking at Vidic (and I am biased towards him) or Vermaelen is that with clean sheets so hard to come by this season, a defender who chip on with goals could be invaluable.

Doesn't he only ever play 66 minutes anyway?

its only a hamstring – he would only need it if he actually did any work - he'll be fine (i hope!)
